The lunch was so sumptuous that the men were discussing Qin Huiyin's cooking skills while working in the afternoon. Those who went home to eat were salivating, and Tang Yichen and Tang Dafu received the latest news from the kitchen and gave the men who were looking forward to dinner a heads-up in advance, explaining that it would be a sumptuous meal because it was the first meal, and that their family didn't have the conditions to eat so much normally.

At dinner, Qin Huiyin served multi-grain steamed buns and pickled vegetables fried with minced meat, and then a plate of filling fish porridge.

When the men saw the food, they sniffed the air and said, "It smells so good."

After they tasted the steamed corn bread, they not only did not dislike it, but also praised it very much.

"If my wife had this kind of cooking skill, I would rather eat wowotou every day."

"Don't dream. It's just pickled vegetables, but look at how much meat is fried in it. How could your wife bear to eat it like that?"

"Huiyin, how do you make this fish porridge? Teach your aunt and ask her to make it for me."

The fish were from the river. Tang Yichen could catch them, and so could everyone else in the village. It was just that everyone disliked the fish because they were too fat and smelled fishy, ​​so they were too lazy to catch them. If they had known that fish could be made into various delicacies, the river would have been completely devoid of fish and shrimp, and the Tang family wouldn't have had a chance to catch them.

Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Okay, let my aunt come to me tomorrow and I'll show her how to do it."

"Huiyin is a girl who has seen the world. She is generous and decent." The man praised her endlessly.

Li Taohua rolled her eyes beside her.

These men are as snobbish as women. They are generous and decent when it benefits them, but they are a burden when it does not benefit them.

Before the men left, Tang Yichen distributed everyone's wages and counted the number of people who would eat tomorrow.

The men went back and told their families about it at noon, but only two of them agreed with their wives to stay at Tang Yichen's house for dinner, while the remaining four had to go home and drink the wild vegetable corn porridge made by their wives.

After work, Qin Huiyin started to busy herself in the kitchen.

Several people from the Tang family went to Tang Yichen's room to learn how to read.

Li Taohua walked into the kitchen and asked, "My daughter, we've already eaten, what are you doing?"

Prepare the ingredients tomorrow, there is no need to rush today.

"I'm going to make some sauce. It can be used not only with rice but also with noodles."

"Mom, come and light the fire." Li Taohua heard her say this and sat down to help.

An hour passed, and Qin Huiyin poured the fried sauce into an empty wine jar that had been washed and left to dry for half a day.

"There's still space in the wine jar. Why don't you fill it up and put it into the bamboo bucket instead?" Li Taohua asked.

"These are gifts."

"Who are you sending it to?"

"secret."

"You little girl..." Li Taohua said unhappily, "There's so much meat and mushrooms in this sauce, plus green peppers and pickled vegetables. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it tastes great. If you were to sell it, ten cents a bucket would be a steal. And you're giving it away as a gift? Who would be worthy of your generosity?"

"Mother knows him too." Qin Huiyin said, "Oh, don't worry, mother, I know my limits."

Li Taohua couldn't do anything about her and said nothing more.

"I won't go with you this time. If you're too busy, find someone to help!" Li Taohua said, "How is Tang Sanmei?"

"Not many people know about our business in the city. Even if they did, they wouldn't think we could make much money. If we hire someone, we can't hide it. Forget it. We have Third Grandpa to help us anyway. Even if we're busy, it won't last long. The worst that can happen is that we have one less person. We can just move slower than before and sell for a little longer."

Qin Huiyin sealed the sauce, cleaned up the kitchen, and then made small dumplings to reward the Tang family father and son who had exhausted their brain energy.

Li Taohua took a sip and said in surprise, "Is this taste made from the spoiled rice in the basin?"

"It's not bad. That's the taste I want. It's actually a kind of rice wine, sour and sweet, suitable for women. If you drink too much, you'll get drunk!"

Qin Huiyin made wine dregs. When Li Taohua smelled the smell, she thought it was the leftover rice that had gone bad and was about to throw it away. However, Qin Huiyin caught her and she didn't waste anything.

"My daughter, where did you learn all these things?" Li Taohua said, "I never thought my daughter is such a genius."

Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "As long as Mom likes it, I will make it for you often in the future."

Li Taohua knocked on Tang Yichen's door and said from outside: "Huiyin made food, come out and eat something before studying."

The Tang family father and son (and daughter) came out dejectedly.

Tang Yichen's face was stern, and he looked sharply at Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu: "From three words to two words, you are still not satisfied. You can't even bear such a small difficulty. Then don't go out to do business with me. Like the others in the village, you will grow crops all your life. The farthest place you will go is the town, and the most you will see is loess."

"Brother, you're too fierce." Qin Huiyin said helplessly, "Eat first, then I'll learn with you."

"Aren't you tired yet?" Tang Yichen frowned. "You've been busy all day, and you still have to clean up the mess for them at night. Do they have to rely on you for their survival for the rest of their lives?" Qin Huiyin: "..."

She just felt that as a veteran in the 21st century education field, she had her own learning experience and might be able to teach them some methods and approaches.

"Brother, you're so fierce, they'll be scared of you." Qin Huiyin handed the rice dumplings with fermented rice wine to Tang Yichen, "Eat something first and calm down, Master Tang."

Tang Yichen took it.

The others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

"It's delicious." Tang Dafu was the first to praise it.

He likes to drink, and the rice wine dumplings have the taste of rice wine, sweet but not greasy. He drank two bowls in a row.

Li Taohua was so disgusted with him that she finally forced him back to his room to learn how to read.

Tang Dafu was the dumbest of the Tang family. Li Taohua had originally not wanted to care about his academic performance; after all, she wasn't counting on him to study for the imperial examinations. But seeing her daughter being affected by the Tang family's academic performance, she had no choice but to take over the mess and personally take him back to his room to study.

"Wife, I have a headache and I really can't study anymore."

"Learn a word and I'll let you kiss me..."

Tang Dafu: "...Wife, I can learn."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

The Tang sisters: "..."

After eating the rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, Qin Huiyin collected the dishes, washed them, and went to Tang Yichen's room to learn about Tang Yixiu and Tang Luwu's academic progress.

"How about we learn pinyin..." Qin Huiyin endured it and said to Tang Yichen, "Let them learn from me for the next half month, and you can take over later."

If you don't have a study method and just memorize it, it's really a bit too much. Since the usual methods don't work for the two older students, let's use her method.
